Warning to TOM TOM users, do not update...

[X-pack-Glyn]

Oh Joy of joys, i updated my unit sunday night and the last 2 days i have sailed past camaras on roads i dont know as there has been no audiable warning, phoned tom tom and the responce i got...

 

"ah yes sir, we deleted the audiable waring as customers were complaining"

 

WTF, do they all want points on thier licence then.. give me strength!!

 

apparently it only gives an audiable warning if you are exceeding the speed limit which is all well and good, however....

 

on the restricted temp limits, motorsways and duals and suchlike the temp speed limit doesnt come up on the unit meaning no audiable warning, great, so now oi have to drive round with my eyes glued to the unit instead..

 

im trying to de update the unit as we speak, but this is proving to be a pain in the arse...

i dont use the sound any way..some times working 12hrs day with it going beep beep can be annoying

it can, but id rather put up with beep beep all day than 3 points and a 60 quid fine per day.

Too late, already done. I don't think I had the audible warnings for them turned on anyway.

Apparently its due to customer complaints, but id hazzard a guess at a little cash injection from the goverment due to too many lost fines is closer to the truth.

 

 

the audiable warning does come in if you are exceeding the limit which is fair enough, problem is though the unit often displays the wrong top speed for a given road, normally 10-20 mph more than it actually is.

 

also it will display the wrong top speed at roadworks which often have cameras too.
